Do you like making lists?

Here's a neat little website that allows you to create and share lists. What I like most about it, is that you can import and export lists in csv format. For those of you unfamiliar with this format, it is a database type and stands for "Comma-separated values." If you are using Access, Excel or Works, you can save your file in this format and upload it to this website.

Digitized Maps!

Perry-Castañeda Library Map Collection

Click on the above link to the most impressive online map collection I've come across. Part of the University of Texas, this digital collection contains political, topographical as well as historical maps from all over the world in jpeg format and, in some instances, pdf format.

Movies based on books

A co-worker of mine, Dione Regan, passed on this site to me. http://www.mcpl.lib.mo.us/readers/movies/

The Mid-Continent Public Library in Missouri has produced this very impressive list of over 1,000 films which are based on books. Not only is it interesting to find out that some of your favorite movies were actually based on books, but also when the title of the film differs from the book.
